Between the election and the inauguration, the NYPD spent an estimated $35 million guarding Trump Tower

Back in January, MuckRock’s Beryl Lipton filed public records requests with the NYPD for how much the city was spending in security details for President-elect Donald Trump. Those budgets just came in last week, and they confirm reports that Trump was costing his hometown the equivalent of a President’s annual salary every day.

The NYPD also budgeted out how much it would cost if Trump did indeed spend every weekend in the city, as he had announced post-election - just shy of $55 million.
